Arrive in Nairobi & Transfer to Lake Nakuru National Park

Welcome to Kenya. You'll arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, where you'll be met by our representative. You'll be transferred in a private 4x4 safari vehicle (for two and three hours) to The Cliff Safari Camp in Lake Nakuru National Park, one of Kenya's best national parks.

Known for its year-round natural beauty, featuring rocky escarpments and pockets of acacia trees, Lake Nakuru National Park is home to both black and white rhinos, hippos, leopards, lions and endangered Rothschild giraffes. The park is named after Lake Nakuru, a soda lake nestled into the ancient Great Rift Valley and a feeding ground for thousands of flamingos.

You'll be staying at The Cliff, a luxury tented camp located on a rock face, offering incredible panoramic views over the lake. You'll head out on an evening game drive in an open-sided land cruiser. Afterward, you can relax by the infinity pool with a sundowner.
